🤖 MAN VS. MACHINE: HOW SIMPLE BOTS ARE "HARVESTING" TRADERS

A viral story is shaking the crypto community. A developer confessed to building a simple arbitrage bot on prediction markets like Polymarket, stating chillingly: "I see retail traders as fresh crops."

This isn't sci-fi; it's the harsh reality of the 2026 bull run.

How the Trap Works:
It’s pure math. In a binary market (YES/NO), the combined price should be $1.
When human traders panic or FOMO, prices distort (e.g., YES is $0.48, NO is $0.49).

The Gap: $0.48 + $0.49 = $0.97.

The Bot: Instantly buys both sides.

The Result: A guaranteed risk-free profit of $0.03, regardless of the outcome.

Why You Are the Target:
Bots don't have feelings. Humans do. While you hesitate or get greedy, the script executes thousands of trades.

🛡️ The Lesson:
Don't be the "yield."

Avoid market orders during high volatility.

Understand that in low-liquidity markets, you are often trading against code, not people.

Educate yourself on market mechanics before betting the house.

Stay sharp. The machines are always awake. 👁️
